It was great to spend a few days in the deep South loving on fellow brother and his two young sons. "James" is a fellow church planter and Navy chaplain who I met last year during chaplaincy school. We quikcly became friends, as did our families. However, just a few months ago, this incredible family lost their wife and mommy to a tragedy and God sent us to bless them as His church and presence.
In addition to bringing food, cooked meals, and a lot of love, we were able to play together, share stories and needs, and return a sense of 'normal' to a very sad situation. God was very, very present and we simply cannot describe the emotions and ministry we received in and through this time together.
Please keep this family in your prayers!
